I think Numberphile can get pretty good but it's more informative than educational.
I don't know if that make sense, but what I'm trying to say is that you could watch a certain video and learn 'about', say, graph theory. But you aren't really going to 'learn' graph theory.

you'll have a hard time in this board, m8. for some reason, edgy people in this board hate to mix these topics.
in any case, I don't think the trolley problem is analogous to having 5 dying patients and one healthy person that could be killed to save the other people. it would be... if this person was also dying, but compatible with all the other people.

>>8139233
It is angering to me that you would post Vsauce. I personally think he is trash, and although I don't have proof right now to prove it, I remember him spouting out inaccurate and conjectural information as fact. Same goes for fucking backyard """""""""""""""""""scientist"""""""""""""""""

It's just short excerpts of this dude's talks put into categories on various topics, but I think I've learnt more actually meaningful things than from all channels mentioned in this thread together.

What is he all about? I watched some videos and all he is talking about is how infinity and reals don't exist etc. He is limiting maths because there is no physical equivalent. BUT does this make sense? Is mathematics not proposed to be limitless as long as it's rigourous and logically correct?
I'm a physicist but this seems interesting.
Also, are there any other "big famous" people acknowledging his work or is this just a circlejerk for autists?
>>8140807
> He is limiting maths because there is no physical equivalent
I think he just wants to prove that you don't need to get into high level abstraction to do stuff.
> Is mathematics not proposed to be limitless as long as it's rigourous and logically correct?
That's the funny part of it, there is no such thing as a "math." What we do have are sets of laws that we like to work with, because they apparently work in our universe. We also like to work with stuff that doesn't belong to our world, but looks promising and we like to mess around with.
You can create any kind of set of laws, and they don't even need to be consistent. Nobody will give two fucks about it, but that doesn't mean that your abomination isn't valid.

Think about the terms you're using
>limitless and logically correct
You can't prove the existence of something that does not terminate. You can at most say "it does not terminate", but you can never verify even that. Read up on non-referring terms. This is a very old problem in the philosophy of language and has definitely not been "solved" by set theorists, or anyone who claims to have solved it. To be dismissive of this is foolish.
>are there any other "big famous" people acknowledging his work or is this just a circlejerk for autists?
You have to verify that the conclusions follow from the premises according to the rules, on your own, and then demonstrate this to others so they can verify it too. The central authority with which we appeal to is the rule itself, which, is an abstraction of nature, and did not come about "arbitrarily". Appealing to authority is poor form.

It's funny, I transferred from the college of art at my university to get away from the contradictions, pseudo/anti-intellectualism, and absurdity of mod/contemp art, and thought I could find refuge in the mathematics department, thinking surely mathematics would be safe from the toxic and trendy deconstructionists- but no, math has been corrupted too. What happened in the last century? Who is telling people to abandon their senses, to abandon reason? Why has it become so popular to give up on reality? Was it the post-war brain-drain? Did we get more than just the nobel laureates but their 12 influential schizophrenic cousins? What the fuck is going on in our academic communities?
>>8145878
Bait
>>8145924
>people who disagree orthodoxy are trolls
Again, it's funny that whenever I post my views on this *I* get called the troll. Are people so convinced that they can understand infinity that I just *have* to be a troll to think otherwise? What am I missing if it is so obvious how simple it is to resolve the contradiction of a finite understanding of the world comprehending infinity?
I mean, do you really know what infinity means? Sometimes I think it is the people who are telling everyone they're using the term "infinity" incorrectly are the ones who *actually* understand what it means. How is what I am saying "bait"? I'm trying to argue my point of view and instead I just get dismissed as a troll? that's very frustrating. I'm not making these arguments in bad faith.
I probably shouldn't even respond to these types of posts.
Also, to anyone who is afraid to speak up about this, but wants to read more about the philosophy of math, I suggest reading some of the papers that Vlad Shaposhnikov has written on the "theological underpinnings philosophy of modern mathematics". he makes some connections between the increase in secularization and the need to replace what was lost with a new absolute certainty. He cites some of bertrand russell's journal entries, so it's not just conjecture! worth a look. you can d/l them for free on academia,edu. also, James Franklin, who is a colleague and faculty member at the same university that wildberger is from (university of new south wales) also writes on the philosophy of math. Worth reading if you're confused about these things like me!

These videos exist and are successful through rewarding the viewer with instant gratification.
The video will appear to teach the viewer, with statements communicated clearly and explicitly, spanning just 9 minutes. What a win-win situation! Just 9 minutes out of their busy day, some interesting information, and they're on they're way.
Despite the seeming win-win, any video watched will have the viewer forgetting what they just watched 2 weeks down the road.
Sure, the main 'idea' of the video will be remembered for these few weeks, and perhaps the video made such an impact on the viewer that they'll repeat the concept to their friends and seem intellectual for a fleeting moment.
However, in reality, basic understanding or lasting knowledge would never be gained through watching five, ten, or twenty 10 minute videos on differing topics. Although, they do a rather good job of making the viewer feel like they've learned something, hence why viewers return, but in the end its all an illusion filling the modern nurtured craving for a consumer's instant gratification.

Of course it doesn't have silly number magic and/or weirdly explained theories, it's simply a good channel to watch. Sit back and enjoy some good videos.

Kevin from Vsauce 2's videos is NOWHERE NEAR as good as Michael, mostly because the channel focuses more on stupid Internet shit rather than specifically on science, but when he DOES make a video focusing more on Science/History, it's actually pretty damn good.

Non-euclidean geometries were 'contradictory, pseudo/anti-intellectual, and absurd.' The 'toxic and trendy deconstructionists' studying it were 'corrupting math', as well as 'abandoning their senses', 'abandoning reason' and 'giving up on reality.'
Until GR.
>>8139234
>>8148146
I mostly watch the videos just to get used to problem solving in general. For example, Vsauce's Banach-Tarski video. It's a pretty dope paradox, but so theoretical that its pretty much useless on its own. The real value is seeing how you can start from a few simple rules and build up to some crazy ass shit just by sticking with a problem long enough.
If some mathematician can make two spheres out of one, you can probably figure out your calculus homework.

>What happened in the last century?
People started doing what we're doing now, analyzing other people's ideas instead of coming up with our own new ones and putting them to the test. It seems to me that around the turn of the century, the general tone of academic work changed from "I have an idea!" to "These ideas are good/bad". No one is coming up with novel ideas any more. It's why I love people like Wildberger, even if I'm not totally convinced of his position, I appreciate someone trying to expose the world to new ideas. Why are people so afraid to do that nowadays?

Can't really put a finger on it, I'm not a psychologist, but I've seen people in college who were about to have a breakdown having that zealous, manic feel about them before it happened.
They could be triggered even by minor details which would occupy them as if they were the most important things in their lives, and then suddenly they would loose interest in it just to start the same thing with some other random thing.
I'm probably stretching it, but when I've read your posts at least two people come to my mind which manifested similar style.
